Fran,
"Having a cancer that has spread to the adrenal gland(s), means that the cancer IS of advanced, Stage 4. However, if there is no other evidence of spread, the only potential cure is complete surgical removal of the adrenal metastasis. The diagnosis of adrenal metastasis would rightly cause anyone concern, it is important to note that the condition has a better prognosis than other sites of metastases."

This means that, at long as the cancer hasn't spread elsewhere, surgery can take care of it. If both adrenal glands have tumors, or the cancer is present in some other organ, then systemic chemotherapy is called for.
Stay positive!

Yes, it escaped the lung and chest.
Yes, when lung cancer metastasizes to the adrenal glands, it is considered advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Metastasis indicates that the cancer has spread to other organs, which typically classifies it as stage 4 NSCLC, the most advanced stage.
